Hello, Vlad Drakul is back...
This work is an extraction and edition from Red Ninja "End of Honor" music and sound of Playstation 2. In my opinion, Red Ninja is a good game and his music is magnificent, the score is the best of the game. For now, there's not an original soundtrack for that title, it's a shame.

<a href="http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd495/Photos-666/Dark-Photos/?action=view&current=KurenaiII.jpg" target="_blank">

I bring you 77 tracks in mp3 (320 kbps), edited by me. This score is a compilation of the cinemas, missions and bosses. Music from the missions and bosses contains background sounds because it's impossible remove them, except in some cases (01, 10, 12, 14, 36, 37, 51, 55, 62, 64 & 67), but the musical themes are great with or without sound effects. The cinemas are scenes from the game with dialogs. Three of this tracks are included without sounds and voices (74-76).

This soundtrack is like a Japanese Drama CD, is a fusion of scenes and music in separate tracks. In this case, you will hear a ninja's story.

If you have another or better edition of the music, please, publish your work in ffshrine forums or send me a message or post your tracks here. I will be grateful for your contribution.

This work is for you, for this great site Final Fantasy Shrine Forums and the fans who wanted the music of Red Ninja. In the future, I hope to see the original soundtrack...

"Foolish Dream" Lyrics (Japanese)

Yozora miage kyou mo ano hoshi wa mienai
Toki wa mujyou ni kokoro midashite sugite yuku

Anata wa ima doko de, watashi wo mite iru no?
Kurayami no naka nandomo yobi tsuzukeru foolish dream

Mune ga itamu you na ano natsukashii kioku tachi
Fui ni kanjiru no wa anata no sign na no?

Hashirisaru maboroshi demo ii; dakishimetai foolish dream

Itsuka, sono te de tsutsunde hoshii
Anata no nukumori kanjitai dake

Koware kaketa yume ni tsumoru genjitsu no kage?
Sayonara nante ienai kara
Mite itai foolish dream.

<a href="http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd495/Photos-666/Dark-Photos/?action=view&current=yoko_ishida.jpg" target="_blank">

English Translation

Even today when I looked up at the night sky, I can't see those stars
This time, my heart's overly disturbed, uncertainly

Where are you now, are you looking at me?
The foolish dream I keep inviting into the darkness many times

Suddenly feeling those nostalgic memories
In order to hurt your heart is your sign?

It's all right if there are phantoms running away; there's a foolish dream I want to embrace

Someday, I want these hands wrapped
I just want to feel your warmth

Is the shadow of reality piling up the half broken dreams?
Because I can't say goodbye
There's a foolish dream I want to see.

Enjoy the music!!!

Vlad Drakul

Thanks for this. I recall the game having a really good atmosphere which was probably due to the music.

This is another game I never finished though, due to the buggy platforming and the bottomless pits that put you back to the start of the level - Why do they do that? It was the bane of Red Ninja's spiritual sister game Nightshade/Kunoichi too.

Hello, and thanks for your words. Yes, the music of Red Ninja is the best of the videogame. I hope you enjoy the score.

Thanks so much for this! Really appreciate it. Can't wait to give it a listen.

Hello Talonmar and thank you. My first motivation to play Red Ninja was to extract the background music and sound, but, when I did this, the videogame was a great entertainment too. I hope listen the original soundtrack someday...

Well, the post is finished. The fans needs more attention of the videogames companies in situations like this, when the music of a videogame is great, powerful and beautiful, but inedit and imposible to have it in normal circumstances like an original soundtrack or a sound test into the game. The background music of Red Ninja is only one of many cases...

OMG, I can't believe it! Never thought I'd see the day this would happen... thank you sou much!!

OMG, I can't believe it! Never thought I'd see the day this would happen... thank you sou much!!

On the contrary, thanks to you for your message. I made this work for comrades like you my friend. Enjoy the music.

Masanori Adachi FUCK YES.

Thank you sweetass.

looks interesting... i'll have to try this, thanks!

You must be really liked the music in this game, thanks for putting it all together, I'm gonna check this out.

And by the way (offtopic) that Red Ninja picture and other artworks for the game were done by an artist "D.K" who also did NieR character designs and illustrations, such as this one:

Masanori Adachi FUCK YES.

Thank you sweetass.

I'm not sure what is exactly the Masanori's contribution in this soundtrack, but, he has a great career in the videogame soundtracks and his name appears when I read the credits. I don't know, but, perhaps Jeannie Lurie help only in the song "Foolish Dream". Rebecca Kneubuhl compose the cinematic score, indeed. Thanks for your post.

I am sure that you will not regret listening to the music my friend. Enjoy it.

Oh yeah!!!!, that is a very sexy and beautiful image, thanks. I've known the game since 2007 and from the beginning Red Ninja was a bad game for me. The camera is the worst of this game, but, not in all the parts and missions. Very elemental graphics, but not bad graphics in my opinion. The music is very good but i didn't make the edition at that time because the original disc was of a friend. I had to buy a new game just to extract the music, being my sole motivation the soundtrack.
However, when I played the game, to my surprise he began to like me much, and while it extracted the music, the game took the good that has. At the end I extracted the music of cinemas, missions and bosses, and I liked the videogame, but you have to understand the game system to enjoy it. Thanks for writing, I am at your orders and enjoy the music.

congrats Vlad, good job doing this stuff and sharing it, i've enjoyed listening to this last night.awesome! and thanks again!

On the contrary friend, many thanks for writing in my thread. The plan for this soundtrack was to tell the story of the game, with the scenes and dialogues on one side, and the background music on the other hand. The tracks 73-77 are bonus.

Hello again, I just want to tell you that I changed the name of some tracks. In case you want to change them, I present the list:

03 Introduction - A time of dishonor
11 Death of the vassal & the guards' attack
16 Report of the mission to the Takeda clan
24 The desertion of Chiyome
28 The revelation of Chiyome - Attack of the Lizard Clan - Armor God
42 Defeat of the snake lady
48 Escape from the dungeon
65 Ninjutsu invocation
68 End of Chiyome
74 Introduction - A time of dishonor (BGM)

Well, this is for if you wish to rename the themes.

The other day I was reviewing the game, and I realize that I can remove some tracks more and improve the editions of other themes. In the next few days I will do the editing and later i will upload the new tracks. I just need time to make first the extraction, then editing and then uploading the files here, thank you.

By the way, as far as I know, the true responsible in composing the songs of the cinemas of the game, this is Rebecca Kneubuhl, who has a great career as a composer of soundtracks for games, films and tv. Can check out more information here:

kneubuhlmann.com (http://kneubuhlmann.com/index.html)

If someone could get in contact with her, perhaps be able to provide more unpublished music of Red Ninja to us. It is a hope that I have, since there is still a lot of music of the game that has dialogs and sounds, and are of its authorship. On the same page you can check the Red Ninja's tracks that i included in the package of this thread.

Well, let's hope that if they are never going to get the original soundtrack of the game, can at least provide us excellent music that has, which would be a noble and magnificent gift for all the fans of Red Ninja.

You are my hero.
I have played this game for the first time about four to five years ago and I have been hooked to the soundtrack ever since.
Thank you so much!!

At last!!! For many years I was looking for this soundtrack. Great thanks!!!
